SMU students call for campus to address racial issues at ‘blackout’ rally =
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/educ...o-address-racial-issues-at-blackout-rally.ece
How do you get to the "must" 10% level of students and professors? Lower the standard? SMU is a private school, not public so it will not be as easy to bully around.
Requirement training for all incoming freshmen? All faculty and staff? Really?
What college/university will be next?
LOL @ the comment below the story.
Look like Purdue is doing it too = http://college.usatoday.com/2015/11/13/live-purdue-students-protest-racism-on-campus/
Coming up at 6 o'clock news, racism spreads like wild fire on U.S. college campuses. Stay tuned for more protests.
